UK missing 'half of green targets'&|&The Political Wire …: May 8, 3:55am 1 review law, politics, democracy, labour-party, uk-government
http://politicalwire.co.uk/uk-missing-half-of-green-targets-2; The government is set to miss over half of the green targets it has set since 1997, a new report has claimed today. The Policy Exchange think-tank said today that out of 138 high-level targets it surveyed, 60 per cent have been "missed, are unlikely to be achieved, or are worded so vaguely as to make meaningful analysis impossible". The report added that two-thirds of key climate change targets appear unlikely to be met, while 88 per cent of biodiversity targets have already been missed.

Cerebral Black Hole & Technology & Can geeks reform the UN: Mar 18, 3:59pm 1 review cyberculture, politics, internet-tools, technology, democracy
http://cerebralblackhole.com/geeks-save-un; Probably not - or not directly. But some of the same people that have 2 million people tracking their MPs' voting records via the site theyworkforyou.com and who, through farmsubsidy.org, got the EU to publish full subsidy data, have set up UNdemocracy.com, an attempt to shed light on the inner workings of the UN. The UN has for some time made copies of its resolutions and other information online at un.org, but like a lot of government initiatives the data published is hardly reusable in any meaningful way. URLs are not persistent, and data formats are not open.

http://cerebralblackhole.com/undemocratic-america; The United States was born out of a struggle for freedom, freedom from the British Empire, and it is this struggle against bloody colonial rule that has shaped American political discourse in relation to its foreign policy. It is in the blood of all American Presidents to espouse support for this fight for democracy. George W Bush himself, a man who has spent most of his time in office at war, is indoctrinated with this belief that America is the chosen defender of freedom worldwide. "It is clear that the future of freedom and peace depend on the actions of America. This nation is freedom's home, and freedom's defender." The reality is somewhat different, over the last 100 years the US has been responsible for, or had involvement with, the brutal and often bloody removal of 14 governments -- in Hawaii, Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Vietnam, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Panama, Chile, Iran, Grenada, Afghanistan, and ... Iraq.
